Together with the Delta Health Center and regional farmers in the Mississippi Delta, the Delta GREENS (Growing a Resilient, Enriching, Equitable, Nourishing food System) FIM Project is testing the effects of a multilevel, community-engaged intervention that provides weekly locally-grown produce boxes over 12 months on adult cardiometabolic outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted 3 focus groups with low-income patients with chronic disease risk (N = 25) and 2 with healthcare providers (N = 19) across 3 counties during formative stages of Delta GREENS.
